nJoin MCTE on Friday\, February 2\, 2018\, at the Winding Brook Conference
Center (8240 S. Genuine Road\, Shepherd\, Michigan 48883) as Dr. April Ba
ker-Bell guides us in a day of professional learning around teaching and r
ace. Literacy instruction from kindergarten through university often acts
as a focal point for discussions and learning about race in America. Readi
ng breeds empathy\, but how can ELA teachers address this work? The topic
of race isn’t easy to cover\, but that doesn’t mean we should avoid it. Le
t’s inform our thinking on one of the most critically important topics of
our time. \n\nDr. April Baker-Bell is an assistant professor at Michigan S
tate University and chair of NCTE’s Promising Researcher Award selection c
ommittee. In her university profile\, she says\, “In my research\, I striv
e to present the fields in which I work guidance for rethinking the lingui
stic and racial deficit theories that underpin and shape our disciplinary
discourses\, pedagogical practices\, and approaches to qualitative inquiry
.” For more\, go to http://wrac.msu.edu/people/faculty/april-baker-bell/.
